Should you apply sunscreen or moisturizer first?
If you stumble on this post, you must be questioning this question, whether it is better to apply sunscreen before or after moisturizer. You are correct that one of the most important factors in skin care is to follow the right steps, and that a day-time skincare routine is different from a night-time skincare routine.
Why should I apply sunscreen?
You might or might not know the importance and the tremendous benefits applying sunscreen daily can bring. But here is a brief explanation:
UV rays and sun exposure can wreak havoc on your skin, causing sunburn, premature aging, and even increasing the risk of skin cancer. UVB rays lead to painful sunburns and tanning, while UVA rays penetrate deeper, causing wrinkles, age spots, and sagging skin. Prolonged exposure can accelerate aging, resulting in rough, leathery skin with dark spots. Moreover, UV radiation weakens the skin’s immune response, making it vulnerable to infections.
You can protect your skin by wearing broad-spectrum sunscreen, seeking shade, and avoiding tanning beds.
Moisturizer or Sunscreen first?
According to dermatologists and skincare experts, the order of application matters more than you might think. The general rule of thumb is to apply sunscreen as the final step in your skincare routine, ensuring maximum protection from UV radiation. Why? Because sunscreen forms a protective barrier on the skin’s surface, shielding it from the sun’s harmful rays. Applying moisturizer first may dilute the effectiveness of sunscreen, compromising its ability to adhere to the skin and provide adequate protection.
Break down the process of morning skincare routine:
- Cleanse the face with face wash: clean the wash, unclog pores and get rid of dead skin (exfoliating cleanser) or excessive oil, helping skincare’s products to work better.
- (Optional) Serum: some people might like adding special serum treatment to their routine (like Vitamin C or Hyaluronic Acid).
- Moisturizer: essential for hydrating and nourishing the skin, providing a smooth canvas for makeup application, and maintaining skin health.
- Sunscreen: sunscreen is non-negotiable for shielding your skin from harmful UV rays, preventing premature aging, and reducing the risk of skin cancer.
- (Optional) Make-up

Do you need moisturizer?
The answer is yes, oil skin doesn’t need a moisturizer is a myth. In fact, dehydrated skin leads skin to produce more excess oil, giving you a “shine” effect. Moisturizer is essential for all skin types; without it, you may encounter dullness, excess oiliness, and irritation.
But, it is too much of an effort. Some people just barely don’t have time for too many steps in skincare, or they have sensitive or acne-prone skin – so they cannot apply too many layers as it will clog the pores. And, let’s be real, purchasing too many skincare products at one can be a lot, so why haven’t you tried our solution, the DT Collagen Anti-Aging Day Cream SPF-50.

The Anti-Aging Day Cream Spf 50 is a great daily moisturizer! First it contains an spf 50 sunscreen that protects the skin from UVB and UVA rays, preventing burns, premature aging, lines, and wrinkles. Personally I prefer to use an spf that is already in my day cream as I hate the feeling of too many layers on my skin. This cream is not thick or heavy and doesn’t leave any weird cast like some sun products do. In addition to the spf, this lightweight moisturizing cream also contains collagen, ceramides, and hyaluronic acid for hydrated, moisturized and plump skin. The texture of this cream is light enough for use under makeup and doesn’t feel greasy at all. The cocktail of hydrating and nourishing ingredients help my skin to feel plump and healthy throughout the day
